topography the natural drainage OF the surface Is
ror large part toward the north and west.
1t will provide for the surface drainage OF part
OF the area only. COL Ludlow expects that other
sewers VIII be constructed ultimately draining TO
the north and west into intercepung sewers and
that pump viii have to be introduced tn make
the proper connection with the existing systems.
The work on the Mount Pleasant and lie Droit
Park sewers will be done this season.
A sewer will also be laid In AnacoStia OF a ca.
pacity large enough to provide for that section.

Cumberland's Champion Marble Player
| HE HAS LOST BOTH HIS ARMS but makes BRILLIANT
SHOTS WITH HIS TOES.
| From the Cumberland News.
| The Hilty boy, who a few months ago lost both
arms in a railroad accident, is remarkable lad in
many respects. Our readers will remember with
what nonchalence he bore his suferings and that
in an amazingly short time after the operation be
was out on the streets, as bright and clipper as
you please. His misfortune has not prevented
| him from enjoying himself In many respects As
| other boys do For ms ance, he plays marbles,
| and plays far better than many boys who have
two arms, eight fingers and two thumbs. In short,
he is a champion OF the ring. He does much OF his
| playing on the West Size, and 1t Is said he has
'.broken" number or the best players over there.
or course the reader will by this time guessed
that he plays with his toes. That's what he does,
| and his 'ShOtS" show wonderful accuracy and
force. Perhaps as he grows up, he can train these
| substitutes for fingers to do useful and even
artistic work. There are Well-authenticated cases
OF this having been done:
| The Deadly Spider Again.
